Swinsian’s interface will remind you of iTunes before it became so bloated with features.

Swinsian supports a large number of file formats, including FLAC, MP3, AAC, ALAC, Ogg Vorbis, WMA, WAV, Opus, AC3, AIFF, Musepack (MPC), DSF, and APE.Īnd while being able to play music on your Mac from different file types is helpful, it can be a problem when you want to transfer a music file to your iPod or IOS devices. (Swinsian displays your media library in a compact but customizable window.)
Drop an album or track into one of the folders, and Swinsian will import it into its library for you. Swinsian is easy to set up it can import your existing iTunes music library, and you can set up specific folders for Swinsian to monitor. If you’re looking for a media player to play music and manage your libraries, Swinsian may be a good fit.

Related article: How to Move Your iTunes Library to an External Drive If you’re looking for an app to manage your devices, perform backups, and transfer files between devices, there are some good choices for that as well. But if your main interest is playing media, or organizing your multimedia library, there are quite a few alternatives available. As far as I’ve seen, there’s no single iTunes replacement that can do everything iTunes does. The key word here is “most” of your needs. If iTunes now seems a bit unwieldy to you, there are alternatives available that can likely meet most of your needs. Lost in all the changes was its original strength: simply playing and managing media on a Mac. Like Decibel it takes for ever to register changes to the watch folder but hitting the rescan button does result in quickly registering the changes.If you’ve been using iTunes for a long time, you may have noticed how it changed from a good music player into a strong multimedia player, became a music, video, and app store, as well as a file and device manager for syncing, backing up, and restoring iOS devices. Audirvana, too, has a Rescan button on its watch folder pref pane. It doesn’t seem to work as there is nothing showing where it does when doing the initial scan.
Swinsian has a Rescan button on its watch folder preference pane. Two points of reference: Swinsian (tried many times over the years) and Audirvana (tried once a week ago). Then “all of a sudden” the deletion was recognized and the process of checking the sync folder continued (i.e. It seems to me that for hours after I made the change in the sync folder there was nothing going on with Decibel (no gear spinning). In my reply to my original post, there was no gear spinning for so long. That is, there have been times that while it has taken hours to begin updating once it has the process is relatively swift to be done.

And, there have been times that once the update has been made the gear spinning did not continue. My real issue is that it takes so long to even start. OTOH, now that I understand the why, I think I could abide the process taking time, I can say that it is working nevermind the size. Guess I need to rethink how I manage my library? Guess I do not really understand how the watch folder is to be used, even with your description. By the time I finish ripping the CDs I care about there will probably be another 30K.
